Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Cindy and my deepest desire, since I was a child, was to do something fulfilling with my life. This desire came from all the devastation I witnessed. Then, I came across a Zen proverb, "May we exist like the lotus at ease in muddy water." My childhood was like slopping through mud but where was my lotus? The more I remembered of my youth the more horrified I became. I was waking up from a terrifying nightmare. I knew I needed help but what or who could help me? In my fervor, I recognized that I was being as hard on myself as those who had harmed me. How could I exist at ease as a beautiful lotus flower in the midst of all this muck which continued to envelop me no matter how hard I pushed to get out? The immediate answer to that question was to begin writing my story. It is contained in the following pages. As I wrote I realized that it was my desire to heal my own deep wounds and thereby being of service to others. Fortunately, I had many normal childhood experiences but the uniqueness was in the travesty of abuse and disregard for human life that daily filled my youth. The fact that it was perpetrated over many years by my parents and forced upon me and my siblings is, to this day, beyond my comprehension. However, I didn't write this for comprehension, mine or anyone else's, I wrote this for healing and transformation. I choose to share my intense family story and continue to transform my life into the lotus. I began to write my story as a single mother in my mid-thirties with three children having the goal in mind to not pass this down to my kids. When I wasn't talking to a professional, reading a self-help book, or attending spiritual meetings in order to free my soul I was trying to live a normal life and give my kids a normal life. I just wanted to be sane. As I wrote, I became certain of one thing. I needed to know the details and the facts as a gateway to transformation and forgiveness. I needed the truth of my experiences and a release from my story. Then I could offer service to others as I continue to heal. So here is my story and process in chronological order. I welcome you on my path of rising and blooming above the murk and finding my lotus. WARNING! This story contains graphic details of my real life story. I experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse, prostitution and ritual murder of children and adults. In this book I go into the details of my life. It's in the details that I have found healing. This book is meant to be a workbook also and is an in-depth study of abuse, mental illness and living with psychopathic parents. There will be a total of eight books, with 190 murders, most that I witnessed, which lead up to my present day life. I invite you stay with me to hear of the gifts in all this abuse. If you choose to just read my experiences and you start to get triggered then take a break, find a support person, do the added sections after each chapter or if desired create a notebook and follow the suggestions under the workbook sections to write or draw your experiences. I survived and am writing this book to show there is hope to be able to thrive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New and updated anniversary edition! As daily headlines about bullying and teen violence render it more timely than ever, this shocking true crime tale of a vulnerable small-town girl gruesomely murdered by the peers she called friends is now updated with chilling new details and insights from New York Times bestselling author, investigative journalist, and host of the hit podcast Crossing the Line, M. William Phelps. After leaving her troubled home life in Texas, 16-year-old Adrianne Reynolds hoped for a fresh start as part of her adoptive father’s family in East Moline, Illinois, near the banks of the Mississippi River. Seeking acceptance, she was drawn to a trio of classmates steeped in, and obsessed with, the Juggalo culture—fans of the rap duo Insane Clown Posse. Though they bonded over their feelings of being outcasts, sporting dark clothing, “killer” clown makeup, tattoos, and piercings, Adrianne was ill-prepared to deal with the twisted tangles of jealousy and domination in her new social world. After a brutal murder stunned the community and was traced back to the teens, bonds were severed and loyalties tested . . . as the shocking truth finally emerged. In this updated edition of a true-crime classic, M. William Phelps revisits the alarming and timely saga of a girl who tried to find herself, the youths who befriended and then betrayed her, and the heartbreaking problems of bullying and teen-on-teen violence that continue to shock and bewilder us.

Download or read book Stop Teaching Our Kids To Kill Revised and Updated Edition written by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely revised and updated, a much-needed call to action for every parent, teacher, and citizen to help our children and stop the wave of killing and violence gripping America's youth Newtown, Aurora, Virginia Tech, Columbine. Thereis no bigger or more important issue in America than youth violence. Kids, some as young as ten years old, take up arms with the intention to murder. Why is this happening? Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Gloria DeGaetano believe the root cause is the steady diet of violent entertainment kids see on TV, in movies, and in the video games they play—witnessing hundreds of violent images a day. Offering incontrovertible evidence based on recent scientific studies and research, they posit that this media is not just conditioning children to be violent and see killing as acceptable but teaching them the mechanics of killing as well. Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill supplies the statistics, interprets the copious research that exists on the subject, and suggests the many ways to make a difference in your home, at school, in your community, in the courts, and in the larger world. In using this book, parents, educators, social-service workers, youth advocates, and anyone interested in the welfare of our children will have a solid foundation for effective action and prevention of future Columbines, Jonesboros, and Newtowns.

Download or read book Innocent as the Angels written by Duane Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than a simple true-crime narrative, this rural Missouri family's unsolved murder spawned an ugly life of its own, encircling countless lives in three states for three years. This story and its characters deserve to be lifted from the obscurity in which they've slumbered for 150 years. Second, the book illuminates the shadowy world of bounty hunters working as unscrupulous private detectives in post-Civil War America. No book-length, in-depth treatment of this epic of multiple interlocking narratives has ever been published. Incredibly, everything is here - murder, scandal, revenge, gunplay, courtroom drama, perjury, a posse or two, sexual scandal, a lurid lynching. The cast runs from washerwomen turning the occasional trick to storekeepers, jailbird drunkards, farmers, and ambitious lawyers. The entire Spencer family of five was murdered with the blunt end of an ax as they slept in their modest home in Clark County, Missouri, in 1877. These ghastly murders generated two sensational murder trials, both of which received a measure of national coverage at the time. The first man accused was the one who discovered the bodies. His trial ended in an acquittal because a professor at a local medical college refused at the last moment to testify to blood evidence essential to the prosecution. The accused was probably not the murderer in any case. More than a year later, a second trial involved a wealthy, locally despised farmer who was framed by a bounty hunter posing as a detective, using the farmer's former housekeeper and mistress as both accuser and chief witness. Following a lengthy and scandalous preliminary hearing, the accused farmer - Bill Young - was bound over for indictment and trial. Before the trial could begin, newspapers both pro- and con- weighed in on the case, the evidence provided by the bounty hunter continued to grow, and the bounty hunter's felonious past was exposed. Convinced that he could defend himself in court, Young fired his lawyers, but immediately had to find others. Unaccountably, he secured two exceptional attorneys - a future attorney general and a future governor of Iowa - to defend him. Though acquitted, the accused was hanged by a lynch mob three days later, the mob being led by the bounty hunter posing as a detective. The bounty hunter's scandalous fake marriage to a teenager and his flight out West was followed by his capture and jail time. Eventually his case was heard by the state supreme court which required that the bounty hunter go free. After 150 years, can the real Spencer family murderer be identified?" --back cover.
